richieN Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi Everyone, I'm sure someone can help - dance teacher has said that the BBO auditions are due to start and we need to apply, but has dropped a random text without supplying any dates, links etc.. I've looked through the BBO site, and it's not very helpful.Can anyone advise, please?Thanks so much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) It may be worth phoning the BBO. I may be wrong but I think the auditioning time has changed. In the past it was October audition and the Scholars year was a calendar year but I think they've moved it now so auditions are July ish and the Scholars year is an academic year.

Bluebird22 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My students auditioned for BBO scholars in June and the new intake started in September. It used to be October auditions for January start as Sarah has said. I think I remember reading on the info that they were prepared to see auditionees through the year if there were spaces, a little like what the elmhurst info says.

The website quite clearly states that "all applications for auditions are now closed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshirePudding Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) We've just had a notification from DS's dance teacher about BBO Dance Days 2017 with reference to as yet unspecified 'eligibility criteria' The dance days dates are 11th - 13th April at Elmhurst School Might it be these that you are thinking of rather than scholars auditions?

Bluebird22 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) There is a scholars weekend 22/23rd of October at the Hammond. Ps if anyone can recommend a cheap nearby hotel I would really appreciate it... Edited October 7, 2016 by Bluebird22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Is that half term? Warrington Road Travelodge is the nearest but we like the one out st Cheshire Oaks depending on price. I just checked & they are expensive for those dates though.

sarahw Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Premier Inn at Runcorn or Chester Central North - the latter is closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird22 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks pictures, I'm a bit cross as it's a course date but we only found out about it on Wednesday. I will look at those 2 the cheapest I've seen is £120 so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 At those prices I'd be tempted to commute. Depends if you drive. Sometimes the travelodge is only £30-40 but not that weekend. My husband camps sometimes. Bit cold in October though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed the scholars audition dates this year so are looking into for next and thinking about the Easter dance days to give an insight. Can anyone comment on how these days compare with the scholars programme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 My daughter did the BBO northern ballet. She went to the Easter Course once and loved it. I think it would give a good representation of scholars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
